BATON ROUGE - Former LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo of West Monroe High would love to play his professional football in the same state he played in high school and college - this one.

"It would be special to play for those guys," Mingo said Wednesday afternoon during LSU's Pro Day at the Tigers' practice facility that featured NFL coaches, general managers and personnel experts watching no less than 19 members of LSU's 2012 football team perform various speed and agility drills.
